Privacy.

Who is responsible?

Legal bases for processing.

Personal data are processed only as required to provide a secure website, respond to enquiries, take pre-contractual steps or comply with legal obligations. Depending on the purpose, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract or pre-contractual measures), Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligations) or, where requested, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

Access and hosting.

According to the current information, this website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. When you visit the site, technical connection data such as your IP address, access time and requested resource may be processed to operate and secure the service (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Details of log storage, retention periods and possible processors depend on the applicable hosting contract and settings and should be checked against them. Logs are erased or anonymised once no longer needed, subject to legal retention obligations.

Contact by email or form.

The form sends your name, email and message using the server-side PHP mail function. Form submissions are not saved in a website database. Email providers and hosting providers may process messages for delivery. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual enquiries or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for other enquiries. Messages are erased once no longer needed to respond or document the matter, unless statutory obligations or legitimate claims require continued retention.

Cookies and analytics.

The newly developed pages of this website do not themselves use analytics, marketing or social-media cookies, tracking pixels, or externally hosted fonts. Artwork images and functionality are served locally. No cookie-consent dialog is required for these functions as currently implemented. Essential technical processing may be permitted under Section 25(2) TDDDG. Any future tracking or embedded services will be reviewed and consent collected where required.

External platforms.

This website provides ordinary links to third-party platforms such as Artnet, Instagram and the Lehner auction house. These services are not embedded within the pages. When following a link, the third-party provider may process data in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Your rights.

Subject to statutory requirements, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection under Articles 15–21 GDPR. You may withdraw any consent at any time with future effect (Article 7(3) GDPR). Please contact klarekunst@gmail.com to exercise your rights. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, for example the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA).
